Configuring your display

Before you start using your Solo II

 we need to 

take you through a few simple set-up steps. 

The Solo II has two sets of configuration – 

[BASIC]  configuration  items  that  you  may 

wish  to  change  often,  and  [ADVANCED] 

configuration  items  that  you  may  only  set 

up once or alter occasionally. 

Basic configuration

Press and hold the centre button for three 

seconds to enter configuration mode then 

press 

 and 

  to  choose  [BASIC]  mode 

and  press  the  centre  button  to  select 

 

[BASIC] settings. 
You will be asked to set the following:

• 

[SET TIME]

• 

[SET YEAR]

• 

[SET MONTH]

• 

[SET DAY]

• 

[BUDGET]

• 

[TARIFF 1]

• 

[TARIFF 2]

• 

[TARIFF 3]

• 

[STANDING CHARGE]

• 

[SET-POINT]

Time and date

If you’ve already set the time and date then 

press the centre button to confirm all. If you 

need to set the time and date then use

   and 

 

to  adjust  the  time  and  date  accordingly. 

Press the centre button to confirm.

Budget

You  can  set  yourself  a  daily,  weekly  or 

monthly  personal  budget  which  the 

display will use to help you manage your 

electricity.  The  display  can  then  tell  you 

whether you’re on target to be within your 

budget,  and  how  you’ve  compared  over 

the past few days, weeks or months. 
You  can  enter  your  budget  as  a  daily, 

weekly  or  monthly  figure.  Whichever 

you  enter  the  Solo  II  will  automatically 

calculate  for  the  other  two.  i.e.  if  you 

enter a daily budget the Solo II will know 

what  that  means  for  the  week  and  the 

month and so on.
You can get an idea of what to set as your 

budget in one of the following ways:
1.  If  you  pay  monthly  by  direct 

debit,  enter  that  figure  into  your 

 

monthly budget

2.  If  you  pay  quarterly  by  direct  debit, 

divide  that  by  three  and  enter  that 

into  monthly  budget  (or  twelve  and 

into the weekly budget etc.)

3.  Look  at  your  recent  bills  (and  the 

period  they  cover)  and  work  out  an 

average  of  how  much  you’ve  been 

paying  each  month  then  enter  that 

into the monthly budget

If  you  have  a  standing  charge  remember 

to include this in your budget.
Use the 

 and 

 buttons to select whether 

you want a daily, weekly or monthly budget, 

then press the centre button to confirm.
Next adjust the value of budget you would 

like  using  the 

 and 

  buttons  and  press 

the centre button to confirm.
